'Good news guys I've figured out how [his] campaign ends'
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat joked about an assassination ending Donald Trump's run for president.
The New York Times columnist caused a social media stir with a tweet that joked of billionaire businessman and GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump's assassination.
"Good news guys," wrote Ross Douthat in his tweet.
"I've figure out how the Trump campaign ends."
He then included a link to a YouTube video of the 1983 movie, "The Dead Zone," a movie that features Christopher Walken as a character who tries to shoot to death a politician played by Martin Sheen. Sheen's character uses a human baby to shield himself from the assassination attempt.

Joke like that about a Democrat and the SWAT team will be busting down your door.
Shades of the W Bush movie. The left is so shamelessly hypocritical. They pretended to get their panties in a bumch when Palin used a crosshair target in an ad, but they will laugh all day about the death, real or fictional, of a conservative figure.
I still remember Wellstone’s memorial/political rally.
His idiot needs to spend some time in jail.
Yeah, joke about assassinating Hillary or Sanders and see what happens.
Ross Asshat needs somebody to take him aside and given a good ‘talking’ to...
Needs to be fired.
Get use to it. This infantile childishness is the SOP for the political media establishment.
Because ITS FUNNY when evil Republicans die

Roles reversed and it would be breaking news 24/7 for a month.
Wait until he is the nominee. They will be going bonkers.
Ross Douthat is actually one of the conservative columnists in the N.Y. Times. He also claims to be a traditional conservative Catholic. I myself am a traditional conservative Catholic, but I don’t tweet assassination jokes.
Did the Secret Service visit him?
Is he being fired?
Thanks, these days I shouldn’t assume that anyone being crass about our anti-establishment candidates is on the left.
ARKANCIDE, The Sequel.
I pray for Trump’s protection.
This is serious sheet, and should be taken care of pronto by the Secret Service and possibly local LE.
Ross Douchebag should pay a heavy price for this, including time in the Big House, hefty fines, and lifetime probation.
Does not Trumps SS status require this to be “INVESTIGATED” ?
Exactly, and any REPUTABLE would've summarily fired this SOB and distanced themselves immediately. I guess we know where the "NY Slimes" falls.
